Two days before i heard about an issue that happened in SBT bank of india that, some of the customers lost their savings deposits from their account by some cyber criminals, the ATM cards are still safe in these customers hand .The technology is developing with this the cyber criminals and hackers are increasing .

To keep safe of your wallets try to hide all informations about your wallet from the public and have a multiple signature wallet that address with 3 prefix instead of 1.May i hope this will help you to secure your wallet.

Everything can be hacked, bitcoin wallets have very good security, but hackers everyday improving theirs abilities, but not only they do that, bitcoin security also not staying on the place, they upgrading theirs wallets and defence too, just always need have big attention to anything.

thats why they called hackers they are just around and always finding chances to grab the opportunity to steal our valued possession we can't change this
fact, even the super secured information if been targeted by an hacker possibility being hacked was there, so its our responsibility to do the counter part
and secured of belongings.

The only reason for you to be hacked is to reveal your self if you clicked the wrong links that are being sent to you then that will be the only way for you to be hacked. Wallets are very secured that they have encrypted keys on it so phishing sites will be the only way for you to be hacked.

Yes always check the links who people send to you. If you do that there would be no chance to infect yourself. Beware also from downloading files from the internet they could have a walletstealer.

Use online wallets in order to save your money. If you have a locally wallet it could be easily hacked by hackers stealing it.

 I agree ln that. However if your email is scured and your password is unique, there no chance for hackers to hack your bitcoin wallet since it's fully encrypted for them to prevent hacking.and don't give your private key to unkonows.

can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?

With the technology available, hackers should never be underestimated even with high security wallets. Once your bitcoin amount becomes hefty, cold storage is highly suggested. It is because hackers frequently do their thing online. Nothing is 100% hack-proof, but using a cold storage will minimize the chances.

Unfortunately, nothing online is safe around hackers even with high security. Even the renowned Pentagon had been breached in the past. For us bitcoin users, added security is our best option. Cold storage, multiple signatures and using two-factor authentication(2FA) have been gaining popularity lately.

If you do not have a better security it is possible.On the other hand if you build a strong security it is not possible anyway.You can make strong security using secured email and unique password.Alternative way is to create a offline wallet and put it in a pendrive.

Posibility is 100%, so in order to minimize this posibility you need to have multiple wallet to distribute your bitcoin. Other way is to have your bitcoin stored in the wallet for short time, maybe you will get a fraction of its profit atleast.
Having several wallets is a good idea, that way if a hacker gets access to one of your wallets you are going to notice and instead of losing all your money you are just going to lose a small amount of your bitcoin, while losing money is always bad it is better to just lose a small amount than to lose all your bitcoin especially if we take into account the amount of effort we need to do in order to get a single bitcoin.

I don't think it will be easy for hackers to hack a bitcoin wallet without its proper information. As bitcoin is a anonymous currency ut can only be tracked with the help of transaction address and it is difficult to get. I think a hacker will need all information about the wallet and its transaction address. So it will not be easy to hack a bitcoin wallet but it is still possible.

Keeping it hardware/cold is the best way to prevent being hacked!
You use online wallet they store ur login info and if hackers get it they can transfer funds around least safe.
GUI Wallet also can be hacked if your computer is infested with virus.

Yes ofcourse. As long as the hacker is a well-trained expert he can somehow hack any wallet they wanted to hack. But I believe that any wallet that we have today is have a well secured so that eventhough experts hacker cannot go into it so that our money will be saved in terms of putting it in the wallet.

Anything is hackable. If its created by a human, it is imperfect and can be broken by a human. We are but mere mortals.

Obviously very capable. There is no security in a world that is completely safe. All can definitely be hacked with no exception bitcoin. Especially if you do not store the wallet address correctly, the potential hack will be very large.

No one can hacking Bitcoin wallet, because every day, the developer of Bitcoin always find the bugs and error of their wallet. Unless, your computer can hacking by hacker, you will lose your Bitcoin as long as hacker has the private key of your Bitcoin wallet.

It lies on the hands of the wallet owner really.  As your own security can be compromise by yourself just by simply giving your personal information in Facebook people can try to crack your password with it just by trying to retrieve it. The best way to avoid this kinds of hack is having a two factor authentication in which if someone access your account on a new computer or device it will send you a code either on email or sms to verify that you are the one accessing your wallet on a new device.

It is very possible, one of the ways that often a hacker is there by sending a phishing link to us.

So we should be more be careful of unclear links.

Of course, it's very possible that a bitcoin wallet can be hacked. I believe it's best to not store your bitcoins in one wallet but make other wallets. I do make other wallets and divide the contents for better peace of mind.

I agree. Hackers are using new creative methods to acquire access to crypto wallets in order to steal the bitcoins and other crypto without us ever knowing. Bittrex phishing was pretty clever in recent times. We must take appropriate measures to safeguard our coins.

Yes it is possible, especially if you re using online wallets or exchanger wallets, or generally dont having the access to your private keys, or not getting a strong password. Hackers keep developping their methods and we need to take the most needed steps of security.
